Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Roma Ptashenko

From 2012 Roma has found his inspiration in the roots of rave culture — the 90s: Belgium with its accelerated-rough rhythms, melancholic trance and acid with its emotional edges, Britain and hard trance from Bonzai Records, as well as early releases on German Harthouse and rave revival from ТРИП label. 

His first DJ experiments took place accordingly: two old decks, CD disk records and endless mixing.

As a result, Roma's sets have become adjust compositions that belong to the dancefloor, but leave the space for real bangers. The big-bit track smoothly enters techno cage: Cari Lekebusch suddenly weaves with Nina Kravitz's sensual hits, and Prodigy remix drowns into progressive house of the duo Der Dritte Raum.

Over the past few years, his performances could be regularly seen both in the main Moscow techno-mecca Mutabor, and in St. Petersburg's Blank or the closed underground space of Raf25, in Tbilisi's Drama Bar and Yerevan's Poligraf.

Roma is a member of two iconic Moscow communities: the Volchok streetwear project, where he leads his series of podcasts and organizes parties. And the Popoff Kitchen music queer community. This year, the association was included in the list of the most influential projects that form youth culture.

Наш 51-й подкаст записала @karolinabnv. Диджей, чья музыкальная карьера начиналась в лучших традициях детей 90-х — в школьной рок-группе. После — переезд в Великобританию, покупка первой вертушки Technics в Лондоне и организация серии популярных вечеринок там же. В Россию Каролина вернулась уже в качестве международного артиста: за ее плечами остались сеты по всей Европе. Дома она отметилась в лайнапах наших любимых клубов: Arma17, «НИИ», «Рабицы» и «Мутабора».

Внутри подкаста разнообразие от дарк-электро с чувственным вокалом Miss Kittin и бескомпромиссного нью-бита до ревущих арпеджио в стиле итало-диско. В целом звучит как саундтрек для уверенного движения к выходным.

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.
